Intersection 6

"What the hell did we do last night?" Michael said, waking up and feeling his head. "Drag racing." Kyouko said, rising from his side, nothing but her underwear on. "~Nyan" Laura purred, pulling Michael back down next to her. "And why is she a cat girl again?" he asked. Kyouko shrugged. Michael woke Laura up and after getting ready for the day ahead of them, all three of them walked down stairs. Houki was making breakfast and the T.V. was on. "What's for breakfast?" Michael asked, taking a seat at the table. "Eggs and Bacon." Houki replied. "Well, we're going on base today, there are somethings that I need to get, like food for four instead of one. There's also a movie I wanted to see." "Hai!" Laura replied. Eating up the food as Houki set it on the table.

The group finished getting ready after eating and after getting into the Volkswagen, they drove off. Michael exited his driveway and headed for the highway. "What movie are we seeing?" Laura asked as the car stopped at a red light. "They re-released Star Wars Episodes four through six and there is a special where if you see all three in one sitting, it's free." They then got onto the highway. The thirty minute trip approached its end as Michael pulled up at the entrance to the base. Showing the man his I.D. card, they pulled away and headed for the theater. The theater was quite small, only having seven screens.

"Theater seven to your left." the clerk said, handing the group their tickets back. "Did you guys want popcorn and drinks?" Michael asked, staring at Laura. "Of course!" Houki replied, cheerful as ever. "I haven't been to a movie theater in ages!" she continued. Laura and Kyouko nodded in agreement. "What do you want then?" he asked. "Large popcorn and a large soda. But can I get it in one of those collector's cups?" Houki said, staring up at Michael like a child. "I bought mine when The Last Jedi came out and it's still good. So you can use it." Houki's eyes lit up so much after he said that, she blurted out, "Thank you onii-chan!" "Onii-chan!?" Michael reacted, blushing at the thought.

The four walked up to the concession stand and ordered what they wanted, "Four large popcorns, one extra large soda, one large soda and one medium soda, along with a refill of this cup." Michael told the man. "Your total comes to $44.37." Michael handed him the unlimited card and the rewards card that he had. Michael then grabbed the cups and told them to get whatever they wanted to drink from the fountain. He got the cards back and after managing to pick up all the popcorn, he got his drink and they all headed towards screen number seven. They entered the almost empty auditorium as Michael walked up to one of the higher rows and sat in the middle. Laura sat on one side and Kyouko at the movie didn't start for another five minutes so everybody got on their phone before it started. The National Anthem played before the movie started, prompting everybody to stand and salute.

The first movie started, Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope. "The Force…", "Obi-wan Kenobi…", "Uncle Owen…", "Kessel run in under twelve parsecs…", "Lord Vader…", "That's no moon…", "Aren't you a little short for a stormtrooper…". "NOOO!", "Don't get cocky…", "Death Star Plans…", "Use the force Luke…" and roll credits. "Not the best one, but still pretty good." Kyouko said, standing up from her chair after releasing Michael's arm. "I'm getting refills, you guys want any?"Michael asked, standing as well. "I gotta pee." Laura said, with an embarrassed look on her face. "Alright then. Houki, can you stay and reserve our seats?" he asked. She nodded with enthusiasm. "Ok." Michael said, walking off with Kyouko while Laura rushed to the restroom. They returned five minutes later with full refills on coke and popcorn. The minutes ticked by as they waited for the next movie to start.

The second movie began, Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back. "Dagobah…", "Do or do not, there is no try.", "I Love you… I know.", "Luke, I am your father.", "NOOOO!", and then roll credits. "That was a good movie," Kyouko said while standing up once again, "The best one." I gotta go, can you refill this for me?" she asked, handing Michael the cup. "Ya, I will. Houki, you want to come this time?" he asked her. She nodded, standing up and grabbing Michael's hand, as if she were his child. The three walked off as Laura stayed and watched over their stuff.

Soon starting was Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi. Michael and Houki had just returned with the refills and popcorn. The movie then started, "R2…", "NOOO!", "Give in to your hatred", and roll credits, "Not as good." Kyouko said, standing up yet again. "So, it's free now?" Laura asked. "Yep. It's free now." Michael replied. The four got up, walked down to the entrance. "Did you see all three?" an attendant asked. Michael nodded. "Go to the counter to receive your refund." The group walked towards the concession stand before Houki tugged on Michael's shirt, and pointed towards the bathroom. "Kyouko, can you take Houki to the bathroom?" Kyouko nodded but Houki didn't go. "She won't go unless you take her." Kyouko said. "I can't go in the women's bathroom." "Haruka can." "Haruka can't show up here." Michael snarled back. Kyouko stared back at him. "You guys are really like a married couple." Laura said. "You're not the first to say that." Kyouko said. "Just hurry up." "Fine." Michael said, walking over into an empty corner and turning into Haruka. "Fine, I gotta go too." Michael as Haruka took Houki to the bathroom where they both peed and when they finished they all left the theater.

"Where are we going now?" Kyouko asked, getting into Michael's car. "The commissary. I ran out of food thanks to you guys." he retorted, starting his car. He pulled out of the parking lot and took a left at the intersection. He pulled into the lot and parked far from the entrance. "You coming in?" Michael asked, looking back at Kyouko and Houki. "Yeah." Kyouko replied, with Houki nodding. "Ok. Just stay close to me." Houki nods yet again while Michael gets out of his car. He grabs his wallet, and pulls out his I.D. card. The others get out of the car, and Michael locks it. The four walk towards the entrance and after showing his I.D. card to the guy, walk in. "Hey Laura, can you grab a cart?" He asked. "Hai!" Laura replied, grabbing a cart. She hands it to Michael as they begin to walk around the store.

Aisle One; Michael is pushing the cart, while Laura and Kyouko are on opposite sides of it. Kyouko is checking out the shelves to Michael's right, while Laura is checking out the shelves while occasionally grabbing things from Michael's Left, the side the cart is on. While all of that is going on, Houki is in front of the cart, with her left hand holding on to it. Although unseen by anybody, there does appear to be a fifth figure switching between directly next to Michael and on the left side of the cart. "Laura, we aren't getting that one either." Michael continues to say as Laura picks every item that peaks her interest, which was every other thing. "Michael, was this it?" Kyouko asked. Holding up a bell pepper. "Ya, it is." he says, taking the cart and Laura with him over to collect the peppers.

Aisle Two; With Michael still pulling the cart and Houki still dangling off the front of it, Laura and Kyouko are still searching for the food. "Michael, where you looking for the bagged chips or the canned ones?" Laura asked, holding up one of each. "The canned one-. Actually, bring both." He replies, Laura nods and brings him all the chips. Kyouko places her hand on her head and shakes it in disappointment.

Aisle Three; The group entered the third aisle, the one filled with Beans and other sources of protein. Houki was no longer hanging off the front off the cart, but she was still about as useful and a baby in the grocery store. "Can we get this one?" Houki asked, holding up a can of beans. "No. Not that one at least. Get the other one, right next to it." Michael said, pointing to the other can of beans.

Aisle Four; Laura had now taken ahold of the cart while Michael was using the bathroom. Kyouko had the list of food that they needed and was slowly picking the items that they required. She picked the soups and tortillas that they needed while Houki ripped off the covers and started to misplace the soups with ones that didn't belong there. Laura just pouted as she was bored and tired of waiting for Michael to come back.

Aisle Five; Michael was still not back, and Laura had practically fell asleep pushing the cart while Kyouko was still the only one that was doing any work. Houki was still back in the previous aisle fixing what she did. Kyouko grabbed the corn and other various canned vegetables before hitting Laura over the head with the paper. "Laura I have a job for you." Kyouko said. "You have to go find the cereal on this okay?" "Hai!" Laura said, now with something to do. She ran over to aisle eight to find the cereal.

Aisle Six; Michael had returned from bathroom break, except he was Haruka again. "What the excuse this time?" Kyouko asked. "The men's bathroom looks like a war zone if the gun's fired shit." Michael pointed to the Oreo's, signaling for Kyouko to grab them. "Grab ten packs." he said, receiving a look of disgust and shock from Kyouko.

Aisle Seven; "What did we need in this aisle?" Haruka asked. "The detergent ran out, and everything else that you would find here ran out. Pretty much if you used it and it came from here, it ran out." "Oh." Haruka sighed, picking up everything and putting it in a separate basket. Houki had now returned and was told by Haruka to hold the basket. She complied.

Aisle Eight; They had finally caught up to Laura, who was running down the aisle, looking at all the cereal. "Laura." Haruka said, prompting for Laura to stop and hug her. "Haruka!" she said, "They have so much cereal!" she continued, rubbing her face in Haruka's chest. "So Laura, which ones did you choose to get?" Kyouko asked, looking dead at her. "All of them!" she blurted out.

Aisle Nine; Michael pushed the cart into the ninth aisle as Houki held onto the basket and Laura walked to his left. They were now in the meat aisle. The shelves were cooled and the aisle was generally cold. Houki found herself shivering while the cold seemed to make Laura more hyperactive. She began to grab more and more sausages off the shelves and play with them, whether that meant tossing them around or rearranging them. After doing this a bunch of times Kyouko finally stepped in told her to stop. She didn't comply eventually she was told by Michael to stop. Houki continued to shiver throughout the entire aisle.

Aisle Ten; "Milk." Kyouko said as they all walked into the final aisle, "That is all we need that we don't already have." Laura, walked over to the row of milk, and choose one of them. "Good job." Michael complemented, as Laura had grabbed the right one. "How did you know?" he asked. "I didn't. But this one looked right!" she exclaimed. Houki, was about to fall over until Kyouko picked her up after handing the basket over to Laura to carry.

Checkout; "Did you find everything alright?" the cashier asked, as she started to checkout the items they had accumulated. "Yes we did." Michael replied, getting out the cards, his I.D. and the unlimited credit card. "Your little one doesn't look too good," she comments, "is she doing ok?" Michael looks at her, "Huh?" "Your daughter, she doesn't look the best." the cashier replies. "She's just a little tired, that's all." Michael replied. Although Michael doesn't notice immediately, Kyouko does, though she goes about it the wrong way. "What are you implying?" Kyouko asks. "Well, she is your daughter isn't she?" "No. We aren't married." Kyouko says rather harshly. "Oh, Sorry for implying that." the cashier apologies. The total bill was $567.89 and Michael used the credit card to pay for it all. They then got gas before heading back home, this time Kyouko was in the front seat.

They got home at about eighteen thirty and the sun was setting. They somehow unloaded the six hundred dollars worth of food out of Michael's rather small hatchback and placed it all in the house. Michael started to unpack the groceries and place the food in their respective cabinets. All the food was put away in about thirty minutes before MIchael decided to take a shower. He got his clothes, and locked the door this time. He then went to his bedroom, turned on his T.V. and after opening up the Youtube app on his Apple TV, he opened up the Monstercat 24 Hour Live Stream. He put on his headphones that played the T.V. sound as he slowly drifted asleep. Kyouko had gotten in the shower after Michael had finished and also went to her room when done. Laura and Houki attempted to hear something, anything coming from either of their rooms, but found no noise. The night ended with everyone sleeping in their own rooms.

Sunday started off a quiet day. Michael continued to stay in his room, only leaving to go to the bathroom and to get more snacks and drinks. Chloe showed up at about Eleven o'clock and joined Michael in his room. The door continued to stay shut as Kyouko entered half an hour later. Inside of his room, he was actually playing video games with the Chloe and Kyouko. They were playing various video games together.

Michael was playing Forza Motorsport 7 with Chloe on separate screens on opposite sides of the room. Ingame, he was driving a Porsche 918 Spyder while racing Chloe, who was in a Ferrari 599XX. Kyouko was playing Counter-Strike: Global Offensive online in team deathmatch. "Hey Kyouko, you almost done?" Michael asked, looking back at her. "Almost, about two minutes." she replied. "Well, do you wanna play some GTA Online after you're done? This race is almost over." he continued. "Sure, but I get that console." Kyouko said back. "Wouldn't have it any other way." Chloe finished the Nurburgring race a few minutes after Michael set a personal best time with the Porsche. Kyouko won the team deathmatch immediately afterwards. They switched places, Michael going to the Computer and Kyouko to the Xbox One X, Chloe staying where she was. MIchael started an online server and invited the others to join.

They game started up and Michael's character was in a parking lot near the docks. Kyouko was the next person to enter the game and she was atop the parking lot near the airport. Chloe was the last person to join and her character was in her apartment. Michael's character was similar to himself, having shorter blonde hair and light facial hair, wearing cargo shorts, a red shirt and hoodie. Kyouko's looked nothing like her, with long dark hair, space leggings and a gray sport coat. Chloe's looked like Michael if he was a girl who wore skinny jeans, so Haruka. "Where do you want to meet up?" Chloe asked everyone, exiting her apartment. "Maybe the airstrip near the lake." Kyouko suggested. "Great, meet you there." Michael replied, stealing a nearby car and heading off towards the airstrip. "Is it a race there?" Kyouko asked, breaking into the airport and stealing a jet. "Sure." Chloe said, grabbing her Tank from her garage and heading towards the airstrip. As she exited her garage, Michael sped by in a truck, only for Chloe to shoot him, killing him. "You ass!" he said, attempting to respawn as fast as he could.

"You two killing each other already?" Kyouko asked, firing at a defenseless Michael who just respawned. Michael managed to get out of the way, only to fire a missile at Kyouko, killing her. "Yep. Looks like you're in on it now." Michael said, replying to an earlier question. Chloe was making her way over to the sandy runway, Kyouko respawned seconds later all the while Michael stole a car and began to make his way over there. "What the hell are you doing?" he asked Kyouko, who had stolen another jet and just crashed into the side of a mountain. "Trying to get Chloe." she replied. Chloe smiled as she used the top of the mountain as a ramp and flew off the other side, travelling far enough to land on the road, crushing a stole her last aerial vehicle and flew it safely, landing at the airstrip. Chloe was already there in her tank as they started a gang attack but ran over everyone in the tank. Michael was the last one arrive, doing so after they had finished the gang attack.

"So what do you want to do today?" Chloe asked both of them. "Maybe we should get in a nice car and see the sites." Michael suggested. "Not a bad idea, but why not make a race?" Kyouko stated. "So the goliath race in Forza Horizon 3?" Chloe retorted. "It doesn't have to be around the border of the map." Kyouko said, rather hastily. "I knew this would come up, so I made a race for this months ago. Consisting of five hundred checkpoints, this race takes half an hour to complete." Kyouko and Chloe sighed. "Well, start it up. We got nothing better to do."

In the following minutes, Michael loaded up the race and started it up. "Choose your car. Don't choose a supercar though." Michael said while choosing his yellow armored Camaro. Chloe choose a red armored Subaru while Kyouko went with a modified black BMW. The race began after waiting a while. "Why are we starting at the boardwalk?" Chloe asked. "Because where else would we start?" Michael replied. "I don't know, the highway!? I would prefer to not to crash into you guys when we start." The race started and Kyouko launched off. "Eat my dust bitches!" she yelled out. Laura sat on the other side of the door, listening to everything they said, wondering what was going on.

"Weapons are enabled!?" Kyouko cried out as she turned the first corner, barely making the checkpoint. Michael passed through the checkpoint a moment later, followed by Chloe. Approaching the fifth checkpoint, the route had been rather straight, allowing Michael to take the lead. To insure this lead, he blew up Kyouko's car yelling, "F*** off!" Chloe now took second as they approached the first landmark in the race. Passing by it, Michael admired they detail in the textures for this area, as he continued on, doing circles as the race required. This allowed Kyouko to shoot Michael and blow up Chloe, allowing her to take first.

The race ended with Kyouko taking fist and Chloe second, and Michael was last. "Well, it takes half an hour when you race clean and in the fastest cars. Not really the best when you die every other turn." Michael stood up and walked to the door. "What were you guys doing in there? Laura asked him as he walked out. "We were playing video games, like we do every month." He replied. "You forget that we have only been here a week and a half." Houki said back. "Ya and you have already tried to kill me twice!" Michael yelled back down the hall. "You know I didn't do it myself!" Kyouko and Chloe left the room not soon after, with Chloe going to the bathroom and Kyouko downstairs for something to eat.

By six in the afternoon, Chloe left and went home "That's what you went to bed early for!?" Houki cried out. "Yep." Kyouko replied. "You couldn't of told us about it?" she asked back. "You were in the future a week ago. You could have looked back. That would have been a better time to attack." The lavender haired girl said. "You know they are not the same." Houki said, rather hesitantly. "And besides, like he would let me use it anyway." "You still could have used it."

"What's for dinner?" Laura asked Michael. The sun was setting and the T.V was on in the background. It was playing Avengers:: Age of Ultron. "It's called make it yourself. It's where guess what? You make it yourself." Michael replied, with a rather smug look on his face. "Haruka would make you something but she isn't here at the moment, so you have to make it yourself." "What are you having?" she asked back. "Lasagna. My Lasagna." Michael walked over to the couch and paused the movie. He got the remote and changed the input to HDMI 5, "Oh Yeah, I got a Blu-Ray player that holds all my DVDs a few days ago. I borrowed your phone. So what do you want to watch?" he asked her. A cat tail slowly creeps it's way from her shorts with ears appearing on her head. "Ah, Cat Planet Cuties?" Kyouko says as she walks down the stairs. "Nooo. Omamori Himari!" Laura exclaims. "But you totally look like you're from Cat Planet Cuties." "Well, Omamori Himari it is then." Kyouko walks up to Michael, asking him,"What's for dinner?" "Make it yourself, and don't make Laura any."

The night slowly came to a close after the sixth episode of Omamori Himari. Michael was the first to leave, taking a shower before ultimately going to bed. The others eventually joined him after they showered, Laura on the left, Kyouko on the right and Houki right on his chest. At about three, a small but bright light began to illuminate the room. Houki was the first to notice. She just stared at it, for her eyes were now solid color. Kyouko was the next to wake, observing the same light. She too was entranced. Laura was the last to wake up, staring intensely at the light. However, the strongest of them was not swayed by it. She noticed that the others was slowly losing consciousness, red veins slowly engulfing their already bloodshot retinas. Also being the smartest of the three, Laura stabbed Kyouko and Houki in the shoulder, the pain bringing them out of the trance. "WHAT THE F*** LAURA" Kyouko almost instantly yelling out, their accompanied screams waking Michael. The light was now intensifying, becoming almost a inch in diameter as the color was being tainted by the blood from Houki's stab wound, which she was struggling to keep closed. The light, emanating from Michael chest, was shooting through the ceiling, heading up and letting nothing get in it's way. "A beacon. It a beacon." Laura said as she head faint tire squeal noises coming from outside. "We need to get away from here. They have found us." Laura stated. "Who?" Kyouko asked. "E.X.E. They must have searched for the highest emitter of antiparticles and tracked it through satellite." Michael said, hopping out of bed. He turned into Haruka, wings and all. Kyouko and Houki got the idea and activated their cores as well, changing into their battle attire. This also healed the stab wounds and soaked up the blood. Laura opened up the window and jumped out, landing on the neighbor's roof. Kyouko and Houki followed with Haruka staying behind for a moment. "Aren't your coming?" Kyouko asked, standing on the window seal. "Just figuring out the speed of the satellite. Meet you out there in a minute." She replied.

Haruka left a minute later, coming out the front door. She looked over to the group and nodded. They jumped down to her and looked at the convoy approaching them two kilometers away, their headlight now showing dimly. "Head towards the school. Don't follow each other or me. They have probably detected you guys too, but they are heading for me. They will probably still try to capture you though." They all nodded again. All three jumped away, but all were headed for the school. "Glad i have Laura's phone though, I want to play with them a little bit." Michael pulled out the phone and opened up the transmogrifier app. He began to scroll through the list of past transformations, settling on one that can defeat them easily.

Haruka, disguised as Issei Hyoudou, walks down the middle of the street. The light still focused on her, the vehicles up in front of her. The vehicles stop half a block away as some go around her to create a barrier. Within minutes, the perimeter is set up as a large force field encases the area. "You are surrounded, give up." a guy in a black suit, the commanding officer yells. "You know who I am right?" Haruka asks him. "You are wanted is what you are. Now come with us peacefully so these people can go back to their families." "Wrong answer I am…" Haruka said before being interrupted. "You are Issei Hyoudou, and uh Sargeant, we are f***ed. His power doubles every ten seconds and we have given him like five minutes to charge up." "Heeeey! I like that guy!" Haruka said, in Issei's voice. Upon hearing that new piece of information, a total of ten men left, all the men with families. "Well then." Haruka asked, "Shall we get started?"

The red gauntlet has been yelling boost for the past five minutes. Yelling boost once again, Haruka could feel the power surge in her. Her already superhuman strength was multiplied by factors of ten while her small magical energy was now something noticeable. "Welsh Dragon Balance Breaker!" the gauntlet yelled. Within moments, Haruka was being covered in the scale mail, armor of crystallized dragon essence. It was crimson red with sharp golden spikes at every joint. There were multiple green jewels spread throughout the armor in her chest and each of her hands. A tail grew in the back while the helmet had sharp green eyes. Finally, large wings grew out of her back with their "arms" being crimson while the rest was more of a tan color. The sight was spectacular. Anyone who saw it was in aw. "Open fire!" the commander yelled. Instantaneously, Haruka was bombarded with bullets of condensed neutrinos, mixed with some live fire. The Neutrino bullets had seemingly no effect, as while they seemed to penetrate the armor, Haruka was showing no signs damage. The live rounds however, were bouncing off a magical barrier surrounding her. The crimson terror slowly walked towards the men firing at her, her green eyes glowing brighter and brighter with every step.

Finally reaching a group of soldiers, many of them resorted to trying to hit her, but to no avail as Haruka simply deflected them. Many of the soldiers to her sides began to fire at her with normal bullets as her barrier was down. The bullets bounced off the armor, but were really annoying her. Haruka deployed Ascalon, elongated it and cut the guns of the soldiers in two. Most of the soldiers had run off by now, getting in the trucks and driving away. Before long, there only three people remaining on the battlefield while two vehicles also remained. The satellite was long gone, Houki hacking it and crashing it in the Pacific. Suddenly, of the vehicles started up. It was a Terradyne Gurkha. Over Seven-Thousand kilograms of metal came charging at Haruka at one-hundred kilometers per hour. Haruka simply stuck her shoulder out and tanked the shot. The Gurkha bounced off, Haruka not budging at all. She then simply punched the vehicle in the grille, puncturing the radiator, cracking the engine block and compressing the pistons along with the camshaft. which knocked it back quite a ways. Haruka retracted her draconic wings and walked slowly towards the one remaining enemy combatant, the commander.

"Headquarters told me it would probably end like this. Told me to not even come. But they gave me a backup plan." the commander began to talk. "They gave me a pill. Untested, it would give me powers similar to your own. However, they only have one. It's sort of a last resort kinda thing. Theoretically, if you punch me, I shouldn't die. I could also punch you and you might actually feel it. How about we test that out?" Haruka just stood there. The commander took the pill. The armor's thrusters now released the power that balance breaker could no longer contain. The commander started to run at Haruka, gaining speed rather quickly. He attempted to punch her in the chest, Haruka blocking it with her forearms in an x-shape. Haruka attempted to punch his head only for him to duck the instant before it would have hit. She charged up another punch, this time landing it, striking his guard and knocking him back into the Gurkha. "It seems we still have much to learn." the commander says, standing up and after dragging his second-in command out of the Gurkha, gets in his vehicle, a Mercedes-Benz AMG G63. He drove off into the rising sun. Stepping on the device causing the force field, the field disappeared. Haruka opened up her large crimson draconic wings once again and flew up, becoming a black silhouette against a rising sun background. "I see why they call it, The Land of the Rising Sun."

Hovering in the air for a minute, Haruka suddenly took off, flying towards the school at incredible speeds, a green light seemingly coming from the thrusters on her back. She stopped instantly when she was above the roof of the school building. The sudden stop was accompanied by a large gust of typhoon force wind. Haruka landed with grace, slowly placing her feet on the ground. The wings retracted before the armor completely disappeared and Haruka turned back into herself. "That was fun." Haruka said, as she gasped for air. "It really takes the life out of you though. Were any of you guys followed?" They shook their heads signalling no. "Good. No one saw anything because everybody who lives here is oblivious. Now we just have to go home to get ready for school. You guys can just go ahead, I need a little break." "Hai!" Laura yelled out before jumping off the roof and running home.

"You okay Michael?" Kyouko asked, seemingly concerned at his condition. "These cores weren't made to handle magic were they?" He said, standing up. "Well magic doesn't exist unless you make it. So you need help getting down?" "Ya" he said as he was picked up and carried to the west school entrance. "I'll just run from here. Shouldn't take too long. School doesn't start for another couple of hours." "Ok." Kyouko said as she jumped home instantly. Michael then jogged home, as it was only three kilometers away. He arrived home about twenty minutes later. It was almost five in the morning when he walked in the door. Michael walked to the couch and passed out.

He woke up at around seven o'clock and the T.V was on. Kyouko and Houki were watching it on each side of Michael while Laura was walking down the stairs in her school uniform. "What are you watching?" He asked sitting up. "The news. They're talking about the car you punched a hole through. Watch." Kyouko said. "Early this morning, reports state that there was a large vehicle crash at approximately four thirty. Taeko-san is at the scene with more information, Taeko-san." The anchorman said. "Yes, at around four thirty this morning police officials say that there was a massive car accident here, at the Hyodo bridge. They say that it included two vehicles, one of which was this 2013 Terradyne Gurkha. Officials are unsure of the second vehicle involved. Back to you in the studio." The reporter stated. "I have with me here Forensics crash expert Sugata Miyamoto-san, and our inhouse speculator; Takashi Aoi-san. Now, Miyamoto-san what do you think happened?" "I think the first thing is to note that the Gurkha is a large vehicle, over seven thousand kilograms. So, to cause this much damage to one, you would need something pretty powerful. I don't think it was a crash." "Really? Wow. Okay well, Takashi-san based on what he just said, what do you suppose it could be?" "I think they might be covering up something. As, Miyamoto-san just said, this was clearly not a vehicle crash, so why are they still claiming that? I think that it maybe some sort of superhuman being similar to the ones popping up in other places."

"So they're calling it an accident?" Laura asked, sitting down. "Seems like it." Houki replied. Michael stood up and walked over to the counter. "We got coffee?" he asked. "Ya" Kyouko replied, "It's over by the microwave. The creamer is in the fridge." Michael grabbed himself a cup adn after drinking it, woke right up. The doorbell than rang and Laura answered it. "You should have been there when I punched that truck, It went flying. The crazy thing was that I didn't hit it first, it rammed me! Ha. I'm surprised it didn't explode." A bag dropped. "You WHAT!?" Chloe was at the door, and dropped her bag when she heard that. Walking over to him she slapped him hard. "What the hell? What was that for?" Michael yelled at her. "You nearly killed my brother!" she screamed back at him. "We were notified that early this morning a creature was rampaging through our streets and my brother was on the squad sent to 'neutralize' the thing. They told us that the cause for the crash was that the truck was hit by the beast. That was it though! They didn't tell us what it was or even if they succeeded. The only other thing they told us was that my brother was fine before they hung up." She told him. The words were filled with emotion, each word filled with more despair than the last. She was on the verge of tears, hugging Michael as he patted her head, calming her down. "But your brother is fine right?" he asked. "Yeah but." "Then it's fine. He is ok. I didn't touch him. Most of them left without getting touched." "Ok. I have to say though" she said as her tears disappeared, "You gloating is completely out of character. You okay?" "That was probably Infinity. She loves to brag. There are personalities within all the cores and when we hit one-hundred percent capacity, those personalities reveal themselves." Kyouko said. "And sometimes they randomly seep out too."

"Ok, Chloe who called you?" Michael asked, back on the couch sitting next to Chloe while the others watched from the bar. "I don't know, all I have is the number they called us by." Chloe said. She pulled out a scrap of paper from her skirt pocket. The paper had a phone number written on it. Michael took out his phone and called the number. "What are you doing?" Chloe asked. "Calling them." Michael stated. "Yes, hello I would like to set up an appointment if you don't mind." "Who is this?" the man on the other end of the line asked. "Oh sorry, my name is Maikeru Jarke." "Ok, Michael Jarke, what business do you have with me?" "I wish to invest in your, activities."

"Ok, thank you." Michael hung up. "What did you do?" Chloe asked. "I set up an appointment with your brothers employer under the pretense that I wish to invest. Our meeting is this Saturday." It was now 7:30. "You should start to get ready, school does start in an hour." Houki yelled at both of them. "I know that." Michael replied, looking back at her with a slight hint of annoyance.

He got ready for school as usual, cleaning up while putting on the jacket and pants of their school uniform. He also put on an armband, a new part of his uniform. The armband had Disciplinary Committee printed on it in Kanji and English. It was red with thin black stripes on the top and bottom with the text also in black. The armband was a new thing thought up a few weeks ago. The headmaster thought that it would bring more order to the school. They were finally in now and Michael was the first to get his. The colors change based on 'rank' within the committee. "Committee ranks came about when a powerful local gang started to recruit students into the gang. The school has never been the same since." Laura walked into the room, "Who're you talking to?" she asked. Startling Michael, he quickly replied, "N-No one. Just talking to myself." "So we have armbands now?" "Ya. Here's yours." he said, handing her a blue one with the same black lettering.

Satoshi. That is the name of their leader. The gang ruled the downtown streets of the city, and they now have infiltrated the schools. Unknown to most students and faculty, only a few select people in the school knew about it, so that paranoia didn't spread and the student body wasn't thrown into chaos. The only people to know about them were the headmaster, the student council president, the disciplinary committee president and the gym teachers. These were the only people the police trusted to act when necessary and could cover it up. Of course, Michael was one of these people. The student council president was a weird man though.

He was a senior and although rather well-known throughout the school, not much was known about him. He wasn't the tallest man and while a smart man, never really did exceptionally well on tests. The IQ test placed him around One-hundred fifty-five, one of the higher in the school. Michael had rarely seen him until the meeting with the student council over Laura and Haruka. He was a very busy man to say the least. However, no one knew why. He never did paperwork himself and was rarely seen off campus. Michael knew one thing about him though. Seito Khan didn't like him. He didn't like most people but he didn't respect him. To Seito, Michael was an eight out of ten. He considered him a honorable and respectable man, they just had conflicting interests. But the student council president was a one out of ten, he was not honorable or respectable. He wasn't trustworthy. Somehow, this man manipulated the majority of the school into voting Makoto Akashi into office.

Weeks before Laura came, there was a burglary at the school. Michael had been Disciplinary Committee President for about two months, and overall violent acts at the school had gone down substantially. The burglary was at night, about two PM on a thursday. The assailants stole hundreds of thousands of yen worth of electronics; mainly computers. Police tracked down the burglars, which turned out to be members of the gang, BLACK O.W.L. That of course, was the name of the gang infiltrating the schools. Most rebellious acts after the burglary were attributed to the fact that the students belonged to the gang.

On Monday, the day continued as usual with Michael attending today while Haruka skipped. The first half of the day was normal, Celeste-sensei teaching everything and Michael catching the two love birds with their pants down, doing it on the roof. Lunch was with the usual people; Kyouko, Chloe, Haruna and Laura. When lunch was over, the headmaster's voice came over the intercom. "Sorry for the interruption." he said. "Will the informants please make their way to the school entrance, your ride has arrived." Michael had finished his lunch by now and was talking with his friends. "What the hell? I wasn't told about this." he thought. For informants, they weren't well informed. "I am sorry class, but it seems that I am needed elsewhere. A sub will take over for me." Celeste-sensei said, walking out of class, glaring at Michael as he apologized, "Sorry guys, it seems that I will also leave you for today, see you after school." Kyouko spoke up before he left, "So the Informants are just high ranking members of faculty and the student body?" "Yep, there are six of us in total." Michael said as he left the room.

The transportation waiting for him was a gray Mercedes-Benz. There were two cars waiting for all of them, Michael getting in the front one. He was joined by Celeste-sensei a few moments later. Once everybody got in the cars, Makoto Akashi with the gym teachers and Michael with Celeste-sensei, they started to head downtown. "Rogers-san, it seems that this the first time that we have been able to talk outside of class for a while." Celeste-sensei said. "Yes it is." Michael replied. "If you wouldn't mind I was hoping to talk to you about your friends now." Michael raised an eyebrow in confusion. "What is there to talk about? I read the report you made to the Disciplinary Committee and Headmaster." "I wrote them with no bias in mind." "I read it the same way." "And what conclusion did you come to?" "Quite a different one then you hand in mind but a conclusion takes into account all evidence." "Which is?" "While they are not those things, something's off about my friends. I don't know what." While this was a lie. He already knew everything.

About five kilometers away from their destination, the police station, Celeste-sensei noticed a black Toyota Highlander that had been following them nearly the entire time. Stopping at a red light, the large SUV pulled up next to them and rolled down their window. The man in the passenger's side pulled out a gun and started to fire on the car containing Celeste-sensei and Michael. None of the bullets penetrated as the car was bulletproof. As the ringing in his ears died out, Michael noticed another black SUV pulling out in front of them. This time, many men exited the car and headed for them. Michael took this time to get out of the car as he told Sensei to stay in it. She didn't listen. Three of the men rushed at Michael, two of which contained some sort of melee weapon. This included a crowbar and a bo staff.

The first man to attack had no weapon. He simply began swinging punches and attempting to kick Michael. This was ineffective, because he wasn't very good at it. He was disarmed when he lost his footing and was tripped. The two remaining men came at him at the same time, a smart tactic. The bo staff was being swung unskilled though. It was almost he was trying hard to use it as a sword. The swings still had deadly force though. Michael found himself dodging the bo staff's jabs and strikes more and more as he backed up. The crowbar man was continuing to wait for his turn to strike and when Michael managed to kick the bo staff wielder back, the crowbar came flying past his head and after moving out of the way of that, Michael grabbed the man's hands and elbowed him in the face, knocking him down and allowing Michael to take the crowbar.

Now holding the crowbar like a sword, Michael entered a stare down with the wielder of the bo staff. Each acted as though they had a sword and were ready to strike. However, as skilled as Michael was, he never trained to use a sword, being an american otaku though, he was proficient in all forms of lightsaber combat. His favorite was Form III, Soresu. He also favorited Form IV, Ataru. Michael started to attack first, providing his enemy with powerful strikes to defend against. The wielder did defend the attacks before striking back several times which Michael defended easily. On one of the more powerful attacks however, Michael moved out of the way, which caused the man to lunge forward and Michael was able to grab the bo staff and sweep it's wielder, dropping him to the ground.

While Michael was beating some henchmen, Celeste-sensei had gotten out of the car and removed her coat. More men had gotten out of the SUV as Michael disarmed the melee henchmen. These were to be feared though as they had guns. As these men moved towards the car, one grabbed her and held her back, pointing a gun at her head and yelled at Michael. "Hey Brat! If you don't want your teacher's brains all over the pavement, stay very f***ing still! You hear me?" Stopping, he stared at the man as two men grabbed Michael by the arms and held him to the wall. The two men weren't tall, so they couldn't hold him too high off the ground, but they were strong enough.

The henchman holding Celeste-sensei raised his gun, pointing it at Michael. "Well, Guess what? I doesn't matter. We have to kill ya all anyway." "Do these idiots understand English?" Michael said out loud, intending for them to hear it. The men listened in confusion. "It appears they don't, Rogers-san." Celeste-sensei replied. The two talked about escaping in English, all the while everybody else why trying to figure out what they were saying.

After Michael had been struck in the head twice, the men trying to make him quit talking, they had planned their escape. The two nodded and took action. Celeste-sensei was the first to move. She grabbed the back of the collar of the shirt that her attacker was wearing and covered his head with it. She then took his gun after kicking him in the stomach. Two perfectly placed bullets were then fired into the man's knee. Two more bullets landed in the assailants dealing with the other car. Michael then elbowed the men holding him as they too were shot. As the remaining men started to come towards them, Celeste-sensei emptied the magazine firing at them. She then pistol whipped one of the two final men before kicking the last one in the jaw.

The police were finally showing up and after asking the usual questions, escorted the "informants" to the police headquarters downtown. "Sorry. on behalf of all law enforcement officers, we are sorry for not better protecting you." The police commissioner was apologizing when Michael and Celeste-sensei walked into the meeting room. He was a man of normal build and a black mustache. He showed them to their seats around a big round table. The end they had been seated at had a projector facing the wall. The commissioner stood next to the image that was being projected and started to speak.

"I called this emergency meeting because we have new evidence. Evidence that could lead us the leader of the gang in Yuusaki and possibly even Gandalfr. Recently, undercover officers were able to get shots of the suspected men leaving their respective school and heading downtown. They then followed these men and ended up at a well known meeting point of the gang's members." He cycled through multiple photos of the suspects, but they mostly consisted of back and side shots. A few of them showed their faces, but it was covered up by a hat or shadows. One thing was certain though, these student went to Yuusaki. The uniform was just too similar. "And one last thing, I would like to thank Agent Yasuhiro for her participation in helping to capture these gang members. But as I have been told, she is also there for other reasons." The commissioner said before leaving the conference room and allowing them to leave the compound.

While on the way back to the school, police escorted for maximum security, Michael brought up Celeste-sensei's reason for coming to the school. "Why are you here?" he asked, interrupting the hum of the car engine and quiet noise it made going over bumps. "That is something to discuss at a later date. As I would rather not answer you now." she replied, continuing to stare out the window. "If it is at the school, I am required to know as a main authoritarian figure." Fine, you want to know?" she snapped back. "I am here searching for the things. I was assigned to this city as a teacher undercover. The executives in Tokyo wanted an agent here around the headquarters. They sent me because they knew how good I could handle myself when facing them. I've taken one out you know? It was my first mission, probably fifteen years ago. I was Eighteen, just graduated from Transhuman: Japan and after summer was over they sent me on my first mission to Okinawa. One of the things appeared in Kadena scaring the locals. I was an idiot. She challenged my to a duel and somehow, she lost. I'm still the only human to beat one."

The time was five in the afternoon and after arriving back at school, Michael got his things and went home. Crossing the bridge on the final stretch home, he opened up a bottle of sweet tea and slowly drank it as he walked to his front door and unlocked it, entering his house. Laura was the first to notice his arrival and hugged him, "Michael!" she exclaimed. "I'm making dinner tonight!" Laura then backed up, allowing Michael to see that she was only in an apron. "Is that why your nude with an apron on?" He asked. Laura shook her head. "Nooo. I have a skirt on underneath. No top though!" "Ok Kyouko, who put her up to this?" Michael shouted up the stairs. "No one." she replied. "She chose to do this herself." "Hai!" Laura said, jumping up and down, her boobs jiggling as nothing was holding them in. "What are you making for us?" was the first question he thought of after seeing that. "Sushi! I'm making some California rolls along with some Volcano and Tamago." Laura happily replied. "She also went shopping for ingredients!" Kyouko continued yelling down the stairs.

"Itadakimasu!" Houki and Kyouko said as they started to stuff their faces with sushi. "This is really good!" Michael said, taking a bite out of the Volcano roll. "Where did you learn to make sushi like this?" Houki asked, stuffing another California in her mouth. "Dad taught me. I was fourteen and we just went out for sushi at that one Japanese restaurant." "The one with the island between the chopsticks?" Kyouko replied. "Ya that one! Well anyway, when we got home he taught me how to make his favorite rolls." Just as Laura finished, Michael spotted a shadowy figure out of the corner of his eye. It was standing in the stairwell before moving up the stairs and disappearing. He appeared to be the only one to spot it. The day ended rather abruptly after Houki fell asleep on the couch and Michael falling asleep seemingly against his will when he left the bath. Laura and Kyouko joined him but were unable to get comfortable due to his position. Laura ended up leaning on his back while Kyouko just went to her own room.

When Tuesday came, the usual did too. Houki woke up early and took her shower before the rest woke and ate before getting dressed in their school uniforms and wearing the disciplinary committee's armbands. They left for school early as Michael wanted to get an early start on the surveillance. Arriving at seven thirty, teachers and student would start to show up soon. At about eight, students started to flood the entrance. After a few minutes, through the onslaught of people, Michael noticed a black SUV stopping in the middle of the street. It drove away after seemingly dropping off a student. As he sent Laura and Kyouko to deal with fights that were occurring for seemingly no reason, Michael sprinted towards the street the vehicle was on. However, while he was clearly to late, he was able to see that nobody was behind the SUV when it dropped off the students. Unbeknownst to anybody though was the fact that there was a similar SUV dropping off a different student near the entrance.

Turning around, Michael noticed a student that was running from him. He didn't know why but he was running. Michael chased after him sprinting through the crowd and when he caught up and grabbed him by the arm, the Disciplinary Committee President was punched in the gut. It had enough force to knock Michael to the ground, while he was gasping for air. The student stopped running and turned to face Michael. "You don't go here." Michael said, standing up. "I've never seen you here before. And you aren't the brightest." The students stopped and turned to look at them. Most had never seen Michael fight and the others knew the spectacle that was about to take place.

The student. Whose bag had the name Yakku, punched at Michael, with the maximum amount of force possible in each punch. It seemed as though he was quite skilled at it. However, that seemed to be all he was good at. Yakku continued to punch, even though he had many opportunities to attempt a takedown. Michael was unmovable, never moving as he blocked and dodged each punch with precision accuracy. Michael did get bored though, as he just grabbed Yakku's arm and bent it the wrong direction until he was on the ground. Dusting off his jacket, Michael stood up and dragged Yakku to the school entrance. Laura and Kyouko had stopped the other fights on campus and dragged those kids near the entrance too. And after a good old fashion punching to the face, they revealed their motives. They were just a distraction, but for what? They wouldn't tell, no matter how much Michael punched them. Going through the bag of the man he just broke the arm of, he found weapons and small explosives. A smug student walked by, staring at the bag.

Michael grabbed the bag and closed it. He then walked to the Teacher's Lounge and Celeste-sensei was the only one there. "What do you want?" she asked. Michael walked closer to the table she was sitting at and tossed the bag. "Open it up, you'll see what." Grabbing the bag and unzipping it, she pulled out a Deagle. "It has blanks, it could only be used to scare people. What idiot had these?" Celeste-sensei asked, throwing the bag back on the floor. "He doesn't go here. Wouldn't tell me his name. It's Black O.W.L. though." Celeste-sensei had stopped caring after that as another student was standing in the doorway."And what do you want?"

"You think Black O.W.L. did this?" he asked. "That is none of your business." she replied. "Oh, but it is." Michael walked towards the man. "How did you escape?" he asked. "I just slipped away. Your officers aren't the most keen." the man said in reply. "You think E.X.E is right? That killing aliens is right? Black O.W.L isn't a gang or a terrorist group. We are the truth seekers. Hell, some people within E.X.E don't even agree with them. We're a group made up of people who know about and disagree with E.X.E. Does that make us bad people?" "It does when finding the truth involves breaking the law." "Hey, Rogers-san was it? You know that guy fought a few days ago?" "Which one?" "All of them. They used to be security guards at E.X.E's regional headquarters. Best in their class. You've made a name for yourself within the group. Not that you didn't have one already." Kyouko was now standing behind the man, but he hadn't noticed. "So, how did you escape again?" Michael asked. "I snuck away, why?" the blonde pointed behind him. A loud scream echoed through the halls as Kyouko somehow towered over him. He cowered in fear before dropping to the floor.

Some time had passed as students were starting to leave school and head home. Michael didn't leave. "Did you know?" he asked, staring at Celeste-sensei. "Did you know, Agent Yasuhiro?" "I am not obligated to tell you that." She stares back at him, before looking away. "Did you know!? You are obligated. I am the Discipline Committee. How am I supposed to do my job if you won't tell me?" Michael replied, increasing his tone of voice. Celeste-sensei stood up, and walked towards the door. "You wouldn't understand, even if I told you. And don't you have a meeting to get to?" She left.

It was now the next day and Michael had been questioned both by his friends and by other members of the Disciplinary Committee for being late to the meeting. The student council president had stopped by and stood by the door, watching the meeting. He had an unsettling grin on his face. It was already lunch time before anything had happened. Another fight had broken out, but his one was serious. Unknown assailants were now making their way into the school. They were plowing through the students in their way Some put up a fight, but were ultimately unsuccessful. Even the teachers were not able to stop them. By then, Michael and the others had been called to action. While teachers didn't allow students to intervene in fights and with intruders, Michael and Haruka were an exception.

Haruka now ran out to the courtyard, where one intruder had pulled out a gun. This caused everyone to stop and run away, if they hadn't already. The teachers were now just protecting the students at all costs while the police were on their way. It would be a while thought as there was heavy traffic. Haruka arrived at the entrance to the main building, blocking it from being entered. She removed her jacket and put her armband on. The men started to walk towards the building, pointing their guns at her and screaming. Haruka didn't move, but instead put a smirk on her face and starting to laugh maniacally. This startled the men who stopped and pointed their guns at her again, with intention to shoot.

They did. Out of the five bullets fired, three had hit Haruka, one in the head, one in the shoulder and one in the chest. This knocked her back and she laid there, the pain of the shots too much to bear. But it stopped. The pain faded away as she stood back up, the crushed bullets falling to the floor. Luckily, no one saw this. Haruka then stomped, shaking the ground beneath them all and throwing everything off balance. Five more bullets were fired, only one of which hit her, in the hand. She had caught the bullet mid-flight. Running at the assailants, Haruka grabbed their guns and crushed them in her hands.

The one on the right backed up, before lunging forward in an attempt to elbow Haruka in the back of the head. While succeeding, it didn't phase her in the slightest. Instead, Haruka grabbed the man by the back of the shirt and flug him out the door, onto the ground outside. The other man, to her left, was still here. Whipping out a device, a taser, he jabbed it into Haruka's shoulder, stunning her. A massive electrical current surged throughout her body, causing spasms and leaving her to drop her guard completely. Her core was malfunctioning. The remaining assailant then punched her repeatedly. First in the head, before moving on to her gut and then he started kicking her repeatedly. Each blow knocked her back, as they got deeper and deeper into the school building. You could see students heads as the teachers actively attempted to barricade the doors with their bodies.

Eventually making their way to the front door, bruises started to appear on Haruka's face, and her clothes started to rip. One well placed blow had the capacity to knock her out. She was then kicked out the front door, flying back and rolling down the stairs leading up to the school. Blood started to appear in her mouth as some was already of the man's hands. Haruka attempted to get back on her feet, but everytime she got on her knees, the assailants would kick her down.

"Why wouldn't you kill me already?" She asked, her back now to the fence surrounding the school. The man just stood there in silence, pulling out yet another gun. "How many guns do you have?" she asked again. He cocked it and pointing at Haruka, and fired. The bullet appeared to be going in slow motion as it travelled ever closer to her head. Everything was in slow motion however, as if time had slowed down for her to watch. Haruka couldn't move, nothing that she tried worked. It wasn't that she able to move due to the beating, she just couldn't move. But even as time came to a stop and Haruka couldn't move, something didn't care.

A light was emanating from her chest, her core was glowing. It looked as though it had gone supernova. But Haruka began to feel it, the feeling that came when she was no longer in control. She was beginning to lose the feeling in her legs, as the torn uniform was disintegrated and replaced with new clothes, clothes Haruka herself, had never seen before. Her strength was returning to her, but the feeling was leaving even quicker. Before long, the only feeling she had felt was in her head, as the bruises left but eventually, the feeling left too.

She began to float, curling into a ball before wings shredded the back of her clothes as they sprouted. The sight was more majestic than the initial activation. As it appeared an angel had formed from the body of a teenage girl. The angel was wearing pure white armor covering a selection of white clothes, including; her shirt, skirt, jacket and even some armor over her knee-high boots, which themselves covered the lower half of her pure black thigh-high socks. Almost no skin was visible, but what was able to be seen was smooth and saturated, glowing in the sunlight. Her platinum blonde hair blew in the wind created by the pure white wings. Before anyone could react, she uncurled and opened her eyes, revealing a blue unmatched by even Haruka. Her figure was perfect, which was expected for an angel.

The assailant was in aw, everyone who could see it was, even the people on the other side of the fence, looking in. She landed with grace on the ground, as light as a feather. She had closed her eyes again, and started to stare down, an devilish grin appearing on her face. Wings retracted, the holes in the back of her clothes gone, she took a step forward. The ground shook with ferocity, as though an earthquake had struck Japan again.

Taking another step, the man attempted to plead with her to stop moving forward but to no avail. She had taken her third step and car alarms were going off in all directions everywhere. The man had finally fallen down, as he began crawling away. But the angel wouldn't let him get away, rushing in front of him quicker than he could escape. He could see her face again, as the shadow cast be her hair revealed her eyes turned crimson red under the darkness. The black over her face scared the man even more, her white teeth the only other visible feature. She no longer looked like an angel, more like a demon, the devil herself. He passed out. The assailant, the one thrown out the door by Haruka, started to wake up now. The angel noticed and quickly appeared before him, putting on a nice demeanor as he looked at her for the first time. She repeated the same thing, blocking out the sunlight with her hair, leaving only the crimson red eyes and the devilish grin behind. This man passed out as well.

"Congratulations, you have defeated my attackers." a voice came over an intercom. There were only two places with easily accessible microphones, the Teacher's Lounge and the Student Council's office. The angel didn't know this though. "As you will find out, they weren't the only men on campus, but certainly the most well armed. I will give one hour to find me! Good luck." The angel nodded and looked over towards the doors, were Laura stood. "The student council's office." she yelled. The angel nodded again.

The wings grew from her back and after a flap, lifted her in the air. She reached the top floor of the school buildings and hovered around, peeking through every window. Seeing the room, the angel landed on the roof. Unexpectedly, there were guards on the roof. They both began to fire their weapons at her, but it was useless. The angel had already passed them and flicked the back of their heads, knocking them out. Flicking the door out of her way too, she made her down to the top floor. More guards were waiting on this floor, a lot more.

At least twenty guards, possibly twenty-five, were standing their, guns pointed at the angel as she descended onto the top floor, the shade making her eyes glow red yet again. They began to fire. The angel effortlessly glided through the fire, taking out the men individually in the blink of an eye, leaving the one in front of the door. She flicked this one through the door, taking out the men guarding the inside of it, sliding them till they hit the table with huge force. "So you found me?" he asked. "And it only took you… thirty-eight seconds. Quite impressive. So, kill me now or wait for the authorities?" She stood there silently. Walking up to the small man, she spit in his face. Wiping the spit off of his face, the man yelled, "What the hell was that for?" before getting flicked in the gut, enough to knock him out. The angel, then poked a large hole through the glass window, shattering it. She then dropped.

Haruka woke up, sitting down by the school entrance, leaning her head on the railing next to her. "What the hell just happened?" she wondered. Standing up, Haruka saw the shattered glass around her and looked up. She saw the large hole where the window used to be that the angel broke. Since she woke up, there was this ringing in her ear, not allowing her to think completely straight. And because of this, she had not noticed that Laura was standing down the stairs, looking up too. Laura had just noticed that Haruka woke up. "Hey Laura, what happened? The last thing I remember, I was getting my ass kicked after I got tased. And then I blacked out after the light overtook my body."

"I would also like to know what happened." she said, her usual silly demeanor gone, replaced by the serious side of her personality. "I had to kiss you, I'll tell you that." Haruka had stood up, and reverted back to Michael. "Because your core can be turned completely off, it seems unforeseen problems may occur. Don't worry though, the core should have figured out a way to counteract that. But electrical discharges will still hurt, you just won't spasm out anymore." Laura was starting to become less serious and it was showing. "I guess I better see what happened."

Walking around the front of the campus, it was fairly obvious what had happened. Two men, passed out and a broken window were visible from the ground, with more evidence visible with elevation change. In Michael's head, it all made sense, for now. He thought that the two men started firing at the window for some unknown reason and were disarmed by someone down here. But he did also point out the flaws in that perspective, mainly guns not being found and both were out of sight of the window. "Laura, how did I get below the window?" he asked, attempting to find where he fit in. "I found you there."

Michael made his way up to the top floor, where the window was shot out. He took notice of the many guards that lettered the floors on the top floor, a few where even in the stairwell leading down, as well as up. Being careful not to step on anything, Michael made his way over to the student council room, entering noly to find more bodies. Surprisingly, no one was dead. The man who had set this all off, Makoto Akashi. "He must have snuck them in before school, I would have seen them otherwise." Michael grabbed the wallet in Makoto's pocket, filled with a couple of IDs and cash. He had about one-hundred thousand yen on hand. The IDs were; His Student ID, stating he was a member of the student council, his drivers license and a weird one hid amongst the cash. Plated in gold foil, it featured his picture, name, age and status among the organization. Flipping it over, a logo was printed on the back. A black logo, spelling out O.W.L. "Well, that explains his intentions." Michael thought to himself. He slipped the ID back in the wallet before putting it in Makoto's pocket. Standing at the broken window, Michael looked out, seeing the city for a few kilometers out. It was a wonderful view. Michael transformed into Haruka for a moment, before dropping in a leap of faith, out the window. She landed in the so-called "Superhero landing" pose and stood up again, less than a meter from where she woke up previously.

Laura walked back down and met up with Haruka before she switched back the police finally arrived. Upon hearing about Black O.W.L, the commissioner had decided to come to the school as well. "Thanks for the call, I came as soon as I heard of their involvement." he said. "Who's involvement?" Michael asked. "Black O.W.L." "But we just found that information out a few minutes ago."Michael wondered. "Then who knew that they were involved?"

After securing the school, SWAT apprehended the suspects and the commissioner had a nice talk with the Headmaster over safety within the academy. "You got an excellent Disciplinary Committee here, for a public school." The commissioner remarked. "Thank you. That man is one of the only people who makes this academy competitive. We're lucky to have him." the Headmaster said. "Stopping those two men and capturing the Mastermind behind it here. That is incredible." "That's what he said. He doesn't remember it. And most students didn't see him do it either." "Wait, then who did it?" "An Angel. That the only thing they could describe it as." the Headmaster stated, facing the large window in his office, overlooking the courtyard. "Something isn't right about that. I don't know what, but something is just off." "The only definitive things you can say about him are that he's american, a good fighter and smart." "That hope those stay the only definitive things about him."

"I have a big day tomorrow." Michael said, walking with Chloe, Laura and the rest trailing behind. "Why?" she asked. "Don't you remember? I am going to see your brother's employer. We're going to have a nice chat and hopefully, I can get him to change his mind of a few matters." Chloe nodded in agreement and they finished walking home. Chloe, rather unusually, hugging Michael before he went inside. She meant it as as good luck charm.

He began to prepare for the following day, laying out a black suit he had acquired a few days before and taking his shower.. Laura was downstairs with Houki, programming the Transmogrifier to change Michael's appearance tomorrow, as he didn't want to be recognized. The new look was of an older man, around thirty or forty years old. He would have clear facial hair while his hair would be darker and shorter. His build would also increase while his height would stay the same. Even more hair was just added in places, mainly the chest and legs, along with some on his forearm. Despite his outside appearance, he was still the same on the inside.

Stepping into a 2018 Rolls Royce Phantom, his neighbors oblivious, Michael drove off, Laura being his driver. Kyouko and Houki waved on as they stayed behind. After driving for about an hour, heading downtown, they had finally arrived at the building. It was a massive skyscraper, one of the tallest buildings in the surrounding area. A massive electric sign displaying the organization's logo. The building was highly trafficked by locals and tourists alike. The tower was most famous for its large entrance that was only available to the richest of people and guests. Its entrance was a large stone arch, surrounded by many supporting pillars and columns along with glass filling in the open areas. But the true beauty of the entrance was the way it opened, to magnificent to be described.

Laura pulled up to this entrance, the guards already aware of Michael's appointment with the head. Laura exited the car, walking over to Maikeru's door and opening it for him. She had also been dressed for this appointment, but only as a chauffeur. Wearing a black suit with a mini skirt and red necktie. Michael walked through the magnificent entrance and too the check in desk, were the head was informed that Maikeru Jarke had arrived."Send him up." the head responded, prompting Laura to walk back to the Rolls and drive off.

Michael walked over to the elevator in the middle of the large room. It was a glass elevator, allowing Michael to see out of the glass walls of the building itself. Exiting the elevator towards the top of the building, the twenty-fifth floor, he was met by two guards, each holding rather large weapons. They escorted Michael to the head's office, where he was expected. Walking in, Maikeru was met by a man staring out the large window at the city below him. "Let us get down to business." he said, swivelling around in his chair, now facing Michael. "Freed."

"I don't believe we have met before," Freed said, "Allow me to introduce myself, I am Freed Wardes and I run the northern Hokkaido branch of E.X.E. but I am sure you knew that. Noe who are you? Have we met before?" he asked. "My name in Maikeru Jarke and while we have not met before, you have met my car, the 1967 Alfa Romeo 33 Stradale that smoked you at that drag strip." "So those were your daughters?" "Yes they were," "Is your daughter your chauffeur? I could have sworn that they looked similar from up here." "No no, she isn't but more importantly, shall we get down to business?" Maikeru asked.

"For what business do you, mean?" Freed exclaimed. "I thought you were donating a large sum of money to our organization, a non-profit." "Bullshit. I know what you really do. Why else would you have a large ass building in the middle of northern Hokkaido." Maikeru replied sternly, "I was planning on donating though. That's why suggested this meeting." "Now in what amount did you plan on donating?" the head asked. "Have you heard of the unknown billionaires?" "Of course, I am one myself. The group of highly rich men that secretly control the world." "Well, I myself am not a member of this, group of individuals, I am even more unknown. I am worth well over twenty trillion yen. And I planned on donating nearly a quarter of my funds to this organization, but if this is how you treat potential donors, maybe I will consider a different branch. Perhaps the American one." "No no no no no no no. That won't be necessary. But assuming your worth, I wouldn't be able to find you even if you leave. Maikeru Jarke is an alias isn't it?" Wardes stood up and walked over to the door locking it. "Is that necessary?" Maikeru asked, the blinds lowering around them. "Oh yes, very." Continuing to sit in his chair, he wondered what Warders was up to. Big men showed up in the room a moment later, crowding around Maikeru. "What's going on!?" he asked, panicking quickly. "Oh, we like to get the most out of our donors." A big, wide grin appeared across the face of the dirty man in front of him.

Freed Wardes, opening the drawer on his desk, took out a pocket knife. He walked over slowly, toying with it before stabbing the desk's corner. The men grabbed Maikeru, and restrained him in the chair. "What the hell is going on!?" Maikeru yelled at him, but to no avail. "I told you, we milk our donors for all their worth. No matter how rich ya are, a big o'll scar on yer face can't go away. " The grin was ever increasing, nearly ear to ear by now. He enjoyed this. Maikeru knew nothing would happen to Haruka right now, nothing could penetrate that skin, but he was human at the moment, underneath the guise of an older man. He wasn't sure if the transmogrifier would stay active if he switched over. Probably not. Freed picked the knife and started to walk towards Maikeru, twirling it in his hands, clearly going crazy. He tried to wiggle free but the men were too strong. Wardes approached Maikeru and ran the knife along his cheek, barely cutting the hair. That's one sharp knife. "So, you worth Two-hundred billion eh? Well, I think we can squeeze a good ol hundred and ninety-nine billion USD out of that. Whatta say?" He said nothing.

"Well, I guess I'll ask ya one more time." he said, stabbing the knife through the op of Maikeru's hand, blood gushing out as the knife was turned, stuck on a bone. Pain seared through him, slowly moving it's way throughout the rest of his body, the intensity never dying down. "One last time. How about nineteen trillion yen?" Freed asked, obviously enjoying the last stabbing, despite getting blood on his white jacket. Maikeru still didn't answer. So he was stabbed through the forearm, the knife lodging itself between bones once more. Blood spewed out more and more Maikeru began to look pale. Everything was being dyed red now. His screams, whatever came out, were overshadowed by the maniacal laughing in front of him. Het was let go and dropped to the floor. If he didn't transform, he was going to die. The blood loss was just too great. "You were a lucky one, I didn't go for the face." Freed said, laughing afterward.

Maikeru managed to get himself back in the chair, before trying something stupid. He wanted to attempt something that could save his life while not blowing his cover. He quickly let the wings fly freely, blinding everyone in the room. The blood stopped. Maikeru then retracted them just as fast, only allowing the bleeding to stop, but not enough time for the disguise to lapse. The holes and pain were still there, but no more blood. He also regained most of the blood lost, thanks to Haruka's plentiful supply. Enraged, Maikeru stood up and rushed Freed, grabbing his neck and showing him against the wall. "Wow, now. Let not get ahead on ourselves." Maikeru dropped Freed. "I'm Leaving." he said. The men blocked the door. "You aren't going anywhere." Freed slips a pill from a small pouch in his pocket into his mouth. "We don't tolerate violence in this office. And since you aren't leaving, I might as well tell you anyway."

"The E.X.E. lab in Guam, had been working on capturing the essence of these beings. They put what they have learned so far in these little pills. You can temporarily become like them! They gave out samples to high ranking officials. Of course we are still decades away from perfectly making a copy, but our subject is quite well." "Like I said, I'm leaving." Maikeru said, attempting to make his way past the guards. He was clearly in no position to make demands. And the guards recognized this. While the bleeding had stopped and the pain was slowly subsiding, that didn't change the fact that there were now to gaping holes on his hand and arm. The crevasses so large they were easy to see through. The men would not allow themselves to be pushed out of the way. The cuts sapped Maikeru's strength, as he was less successful every consecutive time he tried to escape.

"I am afraid gentlemen, you are no longer needed. I can take care of him from here." Freed Wardes stated, and the two men filed out. "I have wanted to test these pills out for a while now, but see as you are quite resilient, I think I might test the, out on you. All the more to milk you for all your worth." Freed used the enhanced speed to move in front of Maikeru. "Let's see how resilient you really are." he says, jump-spin kicking Maikeru in the face, sending him flying into the back wall, knocking him out. The transmogrifier deactivates and the core reactivates.

Waking up, Maikeru was gone, Haruka was now here. "Fuck." "I see you're awake now." A seemingly disembodied voice said, before she realised it was an intercom. "What the hell is going on!?" Haruka exclaimed. "You are at our testing facility, underneath the headquarters. We found you in the head's office. He doesn't know who you are but you identified as an alien." "Why are you telling me this?" "Because you'll never be leaving. This is your new home." The man left the intercom. Haruka sighed, and though, "At least he's a dumbass!" The intercom came back on. "And don't think about leaving, we have guns pointed at you in every direction. It's impossible to escape alive."

"Hello there, little one." Freed came over the intercom, in the observation room some twenty meters from Haruka's restraints. "Now where have I seen you before? I was drag racing that one time but that couldn't have been you." Freed turned the intercom off, and started to yell at the supervisor. "Let me in I, wish to speak to her personally." The supervisor advised against it, stating breach of protocol. Freed didn't seem to care. He popped another pill and grabbed the supervisor's shoulder. He seemed to crush the shoulder until he was finally allowed to enter, despite the guards not joining him.

"Hello again." He said, walking closer to Haruka. "To you, I am a sadistic mad man you only lives to kill your kind. To these people, no, to the world, I am the dawn of new era! You will be just the beginning. After I kill you, I will kill the others! I am humanity's saviour! So will you sit back and allow yourself to be the first sacrifice of my noble cause?!" Haruka simply stared at him in disgust. "So how do you want to do this? An actual fight or will you try to just beat be me in these restraints?" "Option two of course!" "Too bad, fighting is more my style." Haruka replied, "These aren't much for restraints anyways. As weak as your last ones." And with that, Haruka easily moved her arms and broke the clamps, ripping them from the "wall" she was on. She moved her legs and launched the restraints towards the observation room, cracking the glass. The room was in total disarray, alarms sounding but no noise reaching Haruka. All that remained of the restraints were the straps across her chest, abdomen and waist, which tore as she jumped down. "How 'bout we duke it out? Fist to fist?"

Fear ran down Freed's spine, as he knew he was outmatched. And badly. Haruka outclassed the best he had seen. "Those restraints were meant to house class twenties! Not even the strongest we have can escape that! How!?" Haruka looked at him, death in her eyes. "Your class system doesn't apply to me! You don't know what you're dealing with. Now punch me already! That's what you came here for isn't it!?

Freed although rather unwillingly, decided to take Haruka up on her offer. He threw a single punch, aimed at her face, filled with all the strength that the pill had given him. A punch strong enough to break through a few centimeters of steel. Closing his eyes, he threw it out at her face. He felt and heard an impact, but nothing suggesting that it had done anything. Opening his eyes, his heart dropped. His fist was stationary, caught and held in place by Haruka a handwidth away from her face. Freed attempted to retract his hand, but to no prevail, it didn't budge. He tried again, to no success. Haruka snickered, looking at the man attempt to free his hand. She threw him up, and did a three-sixty jump side kick directly into his chest, sending him back into the observation room window.

There was an audible thud as he hit the window. It nearly shattered and set large cracks throughout. These windows were strong, beyond bulletproof. Freed stood back up, wiping the blood from his mouth. He struggled to stay on his feet. Something broke but he couldn't tell what. He popped another pill. It seemed to help. He stood back up, the pain slowly fading away.

Haruka covered the distance in an instant, kicking were Freed was, after he quickly moved to avoid dying. The impact shattered the glass, sending a shockwave that knocked the observers down. Haruka's battle attire was on, and she didn't notice or call it. It looked like Infinity's with red and black accents. But noticeably more black to the point that white was an accent. Guards flooded the room, al pointing their guns at Haruka, some stun guns and other neutrino launchers.

Freed moved in for a punch a kick, anything to distract Haruka for even the slightest moment. He succeeded. Haruka went to block the attack, turning her back on the guards. They opened fire on her, sending countless particles through her body and shocking her more times than she could register. She fell to her knees, the neutrinos were fine, she couldn't deal with the current overloading her system. She broke down, struggling to stand. The electricity shocked her, causing muscle spasms and, after revealing themselves visible, it was clear to her now. They were firing lightning at her. Burns started to appear across her back down her arms and legs and started crawling up to her face.

She was losing power. Her core was overloading. Her healing was losing out to the burns as they covered her entire lower half. She was turning black as night. Her clothes didn't do anything. They weren't meant to stop attacks this powerful. This was obviously some new tech they blackness had come closer. It was nearly covering her entire body now. The number of people firing at her now had increased when they realised that the neutrinos were useless. The blue lightning was rising off her back and crackling as it did on other parts of her body. The burns had made their way up to her eyes. Haruka arched her back and stood on her knees as the blackness burned her eyes and hair. A flash of light appeared, blinding everyone near it. No noise was present put the flash appeared to make one. A beautiful girl rose from Haruka. Infinity, with her white skin, long platinum hair, blue eyes and white clothing. Except for her socks and now her boots, which were black with a white stripe running down the side,

"Hey asshole. Are you the one who has awoken me?" Infinity said staring intensely at Freed. He was unable to form words. Unable to speak. Her wings appeared, violently and instant. She flapped once, creating large wind gusts that toppled the guards and cracked the incredibly thick walls around her. The ceiling rattled as pieces of it fell to the ground. Infinity tossed Freed aside, as if he was nothing, and headed towards the exit as casually as she could.

Freed knew it was over. He had known this since Haruka escaped but he was just now realizing how outmatched they truly were. He popped a pill, healing the pulverised shoulder Infinity grabbed earlier. Guards had came towards Infinity again, but without success. She disarmed them, LITERALLY, and left for the door once again. Freed, who had taken a couple of pills, thinking that they added onto each other, which they luckily did, dashed to Infinity, He covered the distance instantly targeting her back with a kick. Infinity turned, chambering her own kick and hit the exact center of his foot with the blade of her foot, slicing through Freed's leg and effectively cutting it on half. And since his momentum was too great, Infinity cut through his entire body, separating it into two chunks of flesh and guts. Freed was dead.

Infinity walked through the doors, meeting a large staircase. Guards were posted at each side but these were of no concern. Infinity flapped her wings, knocking out the guards and heading up the center of the staircase. She burst through the ceiling, shaking the entire complex. She was held far underground, underneath the Headquarters. Flying through the high roof of the building, she looked at the moon high in the sky before screeching at the top of her lungs as red streaked down her legs. She flew off towards home, it had been hours since she left. Arriving, she walked through the front door, to immediate help. Laura kissed her so Michael would return before he collapsed on the floor.

Michael woke up to his the hot water of his tub. His bathroom had returned to the western style that was installed before it all started. He sat there in peace and the warmth of the water. He could hear the gentle sounds of Vaporwave playing out of the speakers in the wall. All was calm, until the noise started outside. Before is was silenced. Everybody walked in, turned on the Haywyre and sat around the tub. They were all eager to hear what happened. Everyone was in their bathing suits, even Michael so nobody minded.

He told the of the pills, the facility under the HQ and how helpless he was when lightning attacked him. He couldn't remember Infinity though. That's where be blanked. "What happened to your arms?" Kyouko asked seemingly worried about the massive scars. "The bastard who ran the place cut these massive holes in my arms and hands. They healed fully though, so I'm good!" Laura jumped in the bath with Michael as chaos ensued afterwards
